    Dani--definitely making that new top look good! You look so toned and healthy!

    Thanks so much! :blushing: That's really sweet of you! :flowerforyou:
  • Hey pin ups, hope you're all having a good week!

    I've been a bit lax this week, I've been really good through the day and done my workouts but I've been on the dinner shift every night and the chef is constantly saying "try some of this and tell me what you think" or "there's some left over chips here you can have" or "here have a slice of this strawberry cheesecake I just made." A food addicts nightmare!!

    I had a sneaky little weigh this morning to see how I'm doing, and I'm exactly the same... just glad I haven't gained though! Hopefully I'll have shifted something by monday, but I seem to have fallen in to a pattern of only losing every other week at the moment. I don't mind too much, as long as the scales keep heading in the right direction and not back up!

    I did find a photo of me from 4 months ago on my 21st birthday and took a photo of me in the same outfit today to compare, and I can definitely see a big difference! I uploaded it on to my profile but for some strange reason the colours have gone weird, like a negative. No idea why!

    Anyway I hope you all have a great weekend girls, happy birthday rachel hope you have a good one!

    While we're all talking about TOM... anyone have a really heavy month... then a really really light one... during the first 2 cycles during exercise and such. I am on BC... so I figured it might not be affected to much... but figured i'd throw it out there

    I usually do that anyway. If I have a really heavy month my next month will be really light and only last a few days, and I am not on BC. So I think it isn't much to worry about.
  • Hey girls!!!


    I am definately enjoying this nice fall weather!!! Cannot wait for payday so I can do some fall decorating..

    I have a nasty summer cold and it is making me feel YUCKY today:sick: :sick: I am just now getting

    back to a healthy lifestyle so of course that stinks!!:frown: But oh well life goes on!! I am trying really

    So wanted to share some news with you all...I do some legal consulting for a tv drama that goes out on one of the main channels and my first episode was on last night! Saw my name in the credits and am still so excited about it and wanted to share it with you all!!

    Well done Nam! I wish I knew then I could have watched it! Hopefully, the fame will continue......:smile:

    Good evening gorgeous gals!

    Congrats Nam! That's awesome to get your name on TV!!

    Rach, what colour did you dye your hair? Mine was dark red the last month or two but now I'm really tempted to go back to my standby favourite - deep black with a hint of blue, it's my winter colour! (think Pru from Charmed...old school I know....with a little more blue)

    I seem to be in an exercise funk this week, haven't found the time or inclination to do pretty much anything. I have been starting to pack up my flat though - moving out in 10 days - so lots of lugging heavy boxes around. I need to get back on my game! Really looking forward to moving (though no news on my new place yet) - I can fill it with healthy goodness and start a new routine of exercise exercise exercise!!
    Managed to get my calories to 2 under my goal today, by accident more than anything else! Over a fair bit on fat but not so so bad. I feel like I ate well today! Everything I ate I enjoyed.

    Now it's Friday night and like the cool, awesome girl that I am, I'm spending the evening in my kitchen working - it's carrot cakes, chocolate cookies, brownies and whoopies galore!!

    Have a great Friday night - stay fabulous!!

    So I'm kinda bummed out.....

    I ordered lingerie last week since my 6th anniversary is coming up and it's been a LONG time since I worry anything like that. I found one I liked and thought okay I had to have this one. I also ordered a pair of black hot shorts to use to take my progress pics in.

    Well I got my package today and I do not like the lingerie! I didn't like it even before I tried it on. It's 100% see through but on the pics of it even on the package it doesn't show that it's see through (well didn't show that it was see through on the breast area). I so don't like mesh lingerie cause for that why even wear it! LOL

    And my hot shorts are on backorder (due to halloween season they are in high demand for costumes). I was so excited about those shorts too. It'll be 2 to 3 weeks.

    Now I'm just waiting on my Halloween costume to get here...I at least hope it cheers me up a bit more!

    I did get my package of my loop resistance bands. So if anyone you are doing Brazil Butt Lift let me know and I'll give you the ebay link where I got them from. They seem very sturdy and thick. The band that came with BBL is light and would always roll up on me! Haven't tried them yet w/ a BBL workout, just on my own trying them out.

    After being stuck from 160.8 to 160.2 for about 4 days, this morning I seen 159.6!! That got me all excited because i wanted to be in the 150's before my 6th anni! (It means that I lost all of my pregnancy weight from my first daughter! LOL). I haven't logged it in yet since I'm waiting for Sunday. I also like to see the number at least two day sin a row to make it official LOL

    So I guess my friday wasn't too bad...

    oh wait I fell on my butt in the mud while takingmy dog out!! LOL I had no clue if I fell in poop too so I just quick went inside and took a shower. Once I was done I realized no towel and than I realized I had all my shades and windows open....yeah it was pretty chilly trying to sneak into my bedroom! LOL


    Hope everyone else is having a better friday!! =)

    cathcakey - could you explain whoopies galore? I'm hoping for whoopy galore this weekend as my daughter is away but somehow I don't think you are referring to the same thing.....lol

    cina - sorry to hear your purchase wasn't what you anticipated. Happy Anniversary! You look fabulous and I'm sure your husband agrees.

    Enjoy the weekend everyone!

    Good Afternoon Ladies

    Nam: That is really cool! I bet you are having a blast with that! Congrats!

    Cina: That sucks! Lingerie is one of my weaknesses. I actually waited in line when the first Victoria's Secret opened outside of the USA. It was a 3 hour drive to get there but so worth it! Can you send it back and hit the mall for something you love? Every girl is entitled to pretty panties!

    Rach: Happy birthday!! Good job on the ice cream, you have far more willpower than I!!

    To all the TOM people out there: I find that a nice stiff drink the day that TOM arrives helps considerably. DH and I are TTC so it helps with the sadness plus its a once a month "treat" for me. If you only drink one, its not so horrible calorie wise.

    So DH just called to tell me that he got a promotion!!! I am so excited and proud of him! I know its going to be a bad food weekend though now! He wants to order a pizza for dinner, we are hosting a pot luck tomorrow night and making wine at my in-laws on Sunday, so I have very little control over the food. I figure if I hit the gym on the way home from work, I should be ok to have a slice of pizza and some salad. Then I will go again tomorrow so I can eat some treats at the pot luck. Plus I am bringing a big salad and pulled pork. I can make a healthy bun with the pulled pork and then just a small taste of what other people bring. Sunday is going to be tough though. My Italian mother in law always makes yummy carbs for lunch and then we are going to their favorite Italian restaurant for dinner. Fingers crossed that everything works out ok and there are some decent options tomorrow and sunday!

    This past month I tried a little thing a week before TOM.

    Since I knew I was about due the whole week I drank between 12 - 16 cups of water to fight the water bloat/retention. I got my TOM a day before my weigh in. Sunday I felt bloated but the scale didn't show it AND I seen a loss!

    I read somewhere that we burn more cals while on TOM - so I keep that in mind when I work out! lol

    Having a cheat day really helps with the cravings - I plane my cheat days on weigh in days so this way it doesn't mess up my hard work all week long! =)

    That would be such a blast! Sadly it is not in the budget right now so we are doing a quiet date night watching movies at home. Are you going?

    Yup, those are indeed the whoopie pies I was talking about, but the other kind of whoopy is so much more fun...!!
    Don't forget to log that as exercise ;-)

    Ugh, it's gonna be tough to keep my eating controlled today - meeting up with my friend for lunch, and then it's my boyfriend's mum's birthday today so she's having all the family round to her place for dinner. Dammit!! It's nearly impossible to log the food that other people have made!
    Fingers crossed for healthy choices for everyone today

    I had a tough day yesterday, actually I enjoyed every bite even if I doubled my daily calorie allowance. :ohwell: I don't do it often and today is a new day and I'm back on track.

    So I survived my birthday!!! :)

    I relaxed at home most of the day and then went to my bf's and partied. I was surprised at how many people showed up!! I hit, what I consider, a milestone of sorts. I gave my bf my camera and told him to go nuts and uploaded every picture he took, to facebook today. It's the first time that I've felt confident enough in who I am, to not care how I look in photos. Those who will be looking at the pictures know and love me, and don't care what I look like. Hell they already know anyway! I realized that I am the only one judging my appearance and analyzing every flaw.......and I'm done!!! I am more than a number on a scale or a pants size. I'm no longer going to judge myself on appearance and will only strive to live a healthy life.

    Thank you all for the birthday wishes!!! :flowerforyou:

    136 lbs again but I'm cool with that :)
  • I've stayed at 139.8 this week.

    I only seem to lose every other week now, but that's fine because I'm nearly at goal weight so it's to be expected.

    Good luck everyone!

    Back to 169.2
    Completely sabotaged myself yesterday - met up with my friends for lunch, went for japanese food, then my boyf's mum's birthday party last night - a buffet! Hard to keep track + three glasses of wine = poor weight loss this week

    Off to the gym to start this week's burn!!

  • Down to 150.1 this week. So close to the 140's, but I just didn't make it; I don't have any outings this week that revolve around food, so this should be a good week!

    Morning Ladies!

    Thanks everyone for your lovely messages!

    Rach your pics are amazing! So glad you had a lovely birthday and more power to you for feeling confident in yourself regardless of size!

    So had my weigh in this morning - I'm down to 178.8 so a loss of just under 2lbs so I'm happy. Had a crappy week so delighted that I still managed to shift some weight!

    Hope you all have a great day!
